The Rock Star

The rock star, upon stage, bathed in light,
inaccessible, is an outdated image from a defunct
society. In a world where information plus
technology equals power, those who control the
editing rooms run the show.

Computer writing institutes a factory of
postmodern subjectivity, a machine for
constituting non-identical subjects, an
inscription of another of Wesern culture into its
most cherished manifested. Some call it a
monstrosity.

Those kinds of people think Creed is a really
good band.
